What is Compulsive Personality Disorder?

Compulsive Personality Disorder, sometimes called Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, or OCPD, is characterized by a fixation with perfectionism and control, showing itself in highly motivated (often, first born) children.  Your daughter may find it very difficult to be decisive, and be oversensitive to critique, resist being flexible or open to new situations, as she is compulsively reaching for perfection in virtually everything she does.  She may show repetitive behaviors (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder*) beyond her control to stop, have a preoccupation with minutiae, her own rules and lists, and even be somewhat of a workaholic. 

She is likely to struggle with her own, as well as perceived, expectations of those around her.  Causes are believed to be an interlinking of environmental, genetic and unbalanced brain chemistry. 

*Note: while sometimes used interchangeably, OCPD is not to be confused with OCD.  An OCD sufferer has unwanted thoughts, but an OCPD sufferer believes her thinking to be correct and natural. 

Our Girls Residential Treatment is an Ideal Setting to Help Your Daughter with Compulsive Personality Disorder

Continual group, individual and long-term psychotherapy can be highly effective in improving your daughter’s situation, as she is likely to be unwilling to seek these changes.  It is important to remember that she has not chosen to have these compulsive thoughts and so any judgment, real or perceived, only increases the stress she already deals with.  It is important to encourage her, to help her be comfortable in new ways of thinking, and accept her, rather than judge her for unacceptable behaviors. 

Support groups are an excellent adjunct, as a way to gain emotional and social support from the community, assuring your daughter’s continuing independence and stability
